Just thought I would start a thread up for the trade deadline rumors ending on February 21st!

They're over the cap so they'd have to send some salary back. Really the only thing of value at a low salary is Taj and the poison pill makes any trade with him involved difficult. Plus, with us getting back our first, it'd take some good value to do it. Bismack may be enough to cover it on his own, but they'd have to add at least 3 of their lower salaried players to make it work, and they might like guys like Teague or Butler too much to add to the deal.

That leaves bigger salaried guys. Bismack for Hinrich and our first works, but we really don't have much use for Hinrich. Boozer is always in play but I'd rather give up our first than take him on.


Seems like a tough deal to make unless it was a three-teamer

this is probably just a case of the bobcats calling the bulls and saying "what would it take for us to get our first back?".

can't see them trading biz for that only.

The trade is Gordon and Biyombo for Boozer and Charlotte's first. Possibly with a minor chip or two thrown in on either side.

Logic. Biyombo, at this point, isn't worth a first-round pick that many consider to eventually be an unprotected lottery pick. Chicago just paid Boozer's backup near-starter money and has a big hole at shooting guard that they've been trying(unsuccessfully) to fill ever since Gordon left. Charlotte has a frontcourt that is startlingly incompetent offensively and a logjam on the perimeter. Charlotte gets their draft pick back (which frees this years' pick back up to be traded, remember) for taking on the last year of Boozer's contract, and Chicago gets a big-man project to fill out their lineup because they're trading big for small. What else could it possibly be?

@stevekylerNBA: RT @jasonk0823: ---> I think the Bobcats would have a real problem with Rudy Gay's money, that seems to be the recurring theme on him.

i still think this all smoke screen stuff as far as us "determined" to get our pick back and deal biz, etc.

however, after watching the kings last night it is painfully obvious why we want dmc so bad. check out this scenario.

trade 1: goal get our pick back to trade this years to the kings by the deadline

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=b8fnzlj

out: gordon and mullens plus portland pick, in:boozer and our pick

trade 2: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=abzvntp

out: hendo, diop, biz, 2013 pick unprotected and det pick
in: salmons, cousins, j johnson (or jimmer), tony wroten

mem out: gay and wroten, in: garcia, evans, hendo

kings out: cousins, garcia, evans, johnson (jimmer), salmons, kings in: gay, diop, biz, det pick, our 2013 #1 unprotected

again, not in favor of it, but it is interesting.

Still don't think this is the right environment for Cousins to turn things around. It's all moot at this point, though, as the sale to Seattle ownership may have taken Cousins off the table.

No offense but that is a terrible deal for Sacto. Evans and Cousins were really high picks and the best they get for them is Gay and Biz and some mulligans? If that's realistic value than Sacto FO personnel should jump off a bridge with shame.
